## Description

The African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) is a prominent research and advocacy organization dedicated to promoting food sovereignty and agroecology across Africa. Committed to dismantling inequalities within food and agriculture systems, ACB primarily focuses on biosafety, seed sovereignty, and agricultural biodiversity. Their work includes building public awareness about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and resisting policies that undermine smallholder farmers’ rights and contributions to agricultural diversity.

ACB champions seed sovereignty by opposing restrictive commercial seed laws that threaten the practices of smallholder farmers. Additionally, the organization actively monitors corporate expansion in agribusiness, conducting thorough research and facilitating popular resistance against harmful agricultural practices. ACB aims to offer practical alternatives to the corporate capture of seed and food systems, advocating for agroecological approaches that enhance food security and sustainability. Through collaborations and workshops, ACB empowers communities to resist corporate influence and embrace equitable agricultural practices, ensuring a healthier future for Africa’s food systems.
